1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

It is unclear which patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) can assess non-operative care for scoliosis. Most existing tools aim to assess the effects of surgery. This scoping review aimed to inventory the PROMs used to assess non-operative scoliosis treatment by population and languages. We searched Medline (OVID) as per COSMIN guidelines. Studies were included if patients were diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis or adult degenerative scoliosis and used PROMs. Studies without quantitative data or reporting on fewer than 10 participants were excluded. Nine reviewers extracted the PROMs used, the population(s), language(s), and study setting(s). We screened 3724 titles and abstracts. Of these, the full texts of 900 articles were assessed. Data were extracted from 488 studies, in which 145 PROMs were identified across 22 languages and 5 populations (Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis, Adult Degenerative Scoliosis, Adult Idiopathic Scoliosis, Adult Spine Deformity, and an Unclear category). Overall, the most used PROMs were the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI, 37.3%), Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22, 34.8%), and the Short Form-36 (SF-36, 20.1%), but the frequency varied by population. It is now necessary to determine the PROMs that demonstrate the best measurement properties in the non-operative treatment of scoliosis to include in a core set of outcomes.
